[hey there, Larry. It's your favorite space princess with a terrifying family here.]

I was wondering if you could do me a favor.

Voice;

[laurice]

Leia!

[THANK GOODNESS SHE'S STILL TALKING TO HIM. He's thrilled to hear from her again.]

Anything, what is it?

[Okay, almost anything. Don't feed him to your terrifying family.]

Voice;

[oratorical]

[Humans don't eat people in space, Larry, don't worry. ...Well, they probably don't.]

I'd like you to apologize to a friend of mine.

Voice;

[laurice]

[He wasn't expecting THAT. So he is puzzled.]

Huh? Who? What'd I do?

Voice;

[oratorical]

Her name is Rayfa. She doesn't have very many positive things to say about you.

Voice;

[laurice]

Yeah, well...I don't have a lot of good things to say about her, either. She's rude and wanted to set her Ministry of Justice on me and even pretended to be me!

[Larry, you were kinda rude to her too. Stop sounding like a petulant child.]

Voice;

[oratorical]

She's a child, and you're an adult. That hardly gives you an excuse to insult her.

[Sure, Rayfa might not be totally innocent here, but. Larry is older than her, and shouldn't fall for that bait.]

Voice;

[laurice]

She wouldn't stop calling me "Goat Head" after I told her that wasn't my name!

[Larry sounds SO OFFENDED by being called Goat Head...]

Voice;

[oratorical]

[and Leia sounds as unimpressed as Larry is offended.]

And? She's a child. You shouldn't rise to that sort of bait.

Voice;

[laurice]

I couldn't let her get the better of me! I got kicked by a goat, and then she starts calling me Goat Head!

[Stop making excuses, Larry. Man up.]

Voice;

[oratorical]

How many times do I have to remind you that she's a child?

Voice;

[laurice]

She called herself a queen, queens can't act like that!

Voice;

[oratorical]

I've known plenty of other nobles with similar temperaments.

[But that's not the point here. The point is--]

And even such, her behavior as a ruler is no doubt different than her behavior as a normal citizen here.

Voice;

[laurice]

[Silence. Then a long sigh of resignation.]

You win, Leia. I just hope she doesn't kick me again. Or try to throw rocks at me.

Voice;

[oratorical]

[See Larry, that wasn't so hard. Agreeing with Leia is really the best option for everyone.]

If she does try that again, I'll speak with her, as well.

Voice;

[laurice]

Thanks!

I'll tell her mom, too! Her mom's here now!

Voice;

[oratorical]

Her mother is here?

[well, that's certainly news to Leia]

Voice;

[laurice]

Her name is Amara. She's super kind...nothing at all like Rayfa.

Voice;

[oratorical]

Rayfa was kind in my experiences with her.

[Because look Larry, she's not gonna stand for badmouthing here. He'll have to apologize ten times over at this rate...]

Voice;

[laurice]

What? She doesn't use a nickname on you or make fun of how you look?

Voice;

[oratorical]

Why would she do either of those things?

Voice;

[laurice]

She said it's easier to remember people when she nicknames them according to how they look like...even my best friend got nicknamed Barbed Head!

Voice;

[oratorical]

Well, is his head barbed?

Voice;

[laurice]

Um, actually...yeah, but do I look like a Goat Head to you, Leia?

Voice;

[oratorical]

I can't say I see a resemblance, unless the goats here look different from the goats that may exist in Rayfa's homeland.

[Because what are space goats.]

Voice;

[laurice]

We come from the same world. Pretty sure the goats we know are the same.

Voice;

[oratorical]

You can never be sure. They don't exist where I'm from.

[things that look like goats, sure. But are they goats? No. They're space goats by other names. since everything referencing goats on wookieepedia is marked old canon]

Voice;

[laurice]

You don't have goats? What about cows? Chickens?

[Are they different colors?]

Voice;

[oratorical]

Nothing like the ones here. There are similar species--nerfs come to mind--but very few things here are the same as things in the galaxy I'm from.

Voice;

[laurice]

So...is a nerf more like a chicken or a cow?

Voice;

[oratorical]

A cow. But it's larger, hairier, and generally smellier than the cows I've seen here.

Voice;

[laurice]

Ew.

[LOOK WHO'S TALKING, LARRY.]

Hey, if Empatheias can pull in people from different worlds...you think it might pull in some nerfs by mistake?

Voice;

[oratorical]

[EXCUSE U BUTZ. Nerfs are fine space animals. Noble beasts. Perfect for crafting insults.]

I don't think it's ever happened, but I could be wrong. I suppose it's possible in theory.
